Dear Drivers

Since I have been driving over to Maryland Heights for about 6 months now, I have noticed a few things that drives me crazy about other drivers.

Dear drivers that use the fast lane, the fast lane is exactly for that purpose for faster coming traffic. If you a)are not going the speed limit or b) see that cars are backing up behind you then you need to get over. I understand that at time you were faster than other cars but you can get over especially if it is a two lane high way. This isn't a lets go take a Sunday drive, some people have places to go. If I honk my horn at you that isnt hey hows it going. It means the cars on the other side are going slower and you are too so get over.

Now on the opposite end, dear driver that think they are a Indy car racecar driver. There are speed limits for a reason. I dont mind going when people go over the speed limit, heck I do it, but you dont have to go so fast that you are bout ready to crash into someone or cause accident. If you are that much in a hurry to get somewhere you shouldnt be on the road or you should have left sooner.

Dear police officer, why is that you want to target me when I am driving?? The said two above are going to cause more problems then me. I am not the one who is going 80 to 95 miles weaving in between traffic on the interstate. At most I am going 70 in 65 speed zone. It just gets frustrating when you are pointing your gun at me and the person in the next lane is going faster than me.

I am tired of people that do not know how to use their turn signals. How do I know that you aren't just stopping the middle of the road? And dont get mad when I honk at you for not your turn signal. If you would have used it I wouldnt have to honk at you. So if you follow some of these rules I think would not have problems!!

High School Reunion

So the first Friday of August was my high school reunion. It was a celebrating 25 years of being open and it was not for a certain class. It was a reunion for Governor French Academy. I went there from 1997 to 2001 and had a graduating class of 9. That's right, 9 kids!! In our entire school, which was pre-K to 12th grade there was probably about 200 kids. It was really small school but I would not change a thing. I ended up having the best time of my life. So my best friend Mary Beth met me at my high school and went had dinner before hand in downtown Belleville. It was so good catching up with her and reliving old days. We were also talking about who we wanted to see there and who we didn't. Then we decided we should head on over there and get this sucker over with. We had gone to something like this but when we went was after her sisters graduation and it sucked. We really thought this one was going to be bad. When we got there one of my best guy friends and his girlfriend had shown up. I was so glad to see them. I knew there would be someone else there to talk to besides Mary Beth.
When we got there, there was not alot of people, more teachers than anything. They gave us name tags with our senior pictures and what year we graduated. That was a so embrassing. Throughout the night more people that I knew came trickling in. Then finally my other best guy friend came. I was so excited. Jonathan, Mary Beth, my brother and I were so close throughout the years. My senior year we had date nights with the two Jonathans. He didn't get to come to my wedding which was sad. But I was so glad to see him. Our headmaster or "our principal" took us on a tour of the school. There had been some changes since I had last been there. It was neat remembering though how things had been when I originally started there. While on the tour I ended up dropping my camera. I was so mad that I dropped it. After the tour I stood around talking with old friends. One of my old boyfriends was there. And we ended up having a really good conversation that night. I was really surprised how late I had stayd there since I really thought it was going to be boring. A group of us ended up going to a bar. Mary Beth and I had our normal drink at this bar. It is called a recliner. Basically they take a sandpail and put a bunch of liquor there. We get it every summer because that is the only time they serve it at the location we go to. It ended up being Josh, Mary Beth, Byron and his girlfriend Jesi. Before Byron and Jesi got there Josh had made a comment that he was surprised that Byron and I were friends. That really got me thinking about that. I am not surprised that we have been friends that long. I dont remember how we became friends but I am glad we did. Byron has been there for me over the years, especially during the boyfriend years when I have had boy troubles. I know I haven't been the greatest friend to him but I am so glad he has been there for me and stuck by me throughout the years. So all in all it was a great night.
